[edit] Cool
Binturongs are cool. If it was not so unethical I would like to have one in my garden.
I agree wholeheartedly. - MasterSlowPoke
They do seem cool, but according to http://www.wildlifewaystation.org/wws/animals/item.php?id=14, you'd need trees in your garden for them. SleekWeasel 20:41, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
There awsome
[edit] a few corrections
the binturong i have come into contact with are much larger than a large house cat - more like a mid-sized dog. and they smell like warm popcorn? i always thought fritos. a bad bag of fritos. loving the wikipedia! - m.
[edit] can't turn counterclockwise?
Does anyone have a source saying that binturongs can't turn counterclockwise? That seems pretty strange. --Allen 21:40, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- They can... that is a superstition, among the same category as dogs can't look up. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.195.86.38 (talk • contribs)

- Thanks for fixing that. --Allen 01:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
I have a picture of a binturung. How do I upload it into this page? Victor
[edit] Endangered? (Contradiction)
The first paragraph of the article states: "The Binturong is endangered due to habitat destruction and poaching for their medicinal uses and their fur." The Conservation Status box, however, is marked lc (least concern). Perhaps the article means that those activities are threats bintourongs face or perhaps the Conservation Status is simply wrong. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Inexorability (talk • contribs) 06:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Seriously...
Are we thinking the same binturong? The one I know is no bigger than 45-50 lb and feed mainly on fruit, so where did your as big as large mountain lion, bison (!) eating binturong come from? You seem to have a prankster on your hands, my dear colleagues... --88.101.199.144 11:49, 8 April 2007 (UTC), Bodlina, from CS:
